Nicol and Matt thank you so much for helping us have our dream wedding. Although, we originally did not think we needed a wedding planner, we quickly realized your worth! You made every aspect of planning our weeding easy, through recommendations, your knowledge of the valley and helping us spending money on the things that mattered and not wasting time or money on the things that didn't. After looking at several locations we picked Brix as we were still able to get married in a winery without all the restrictions. - Brix was an amazing venue! The food was exceptional; the staff was so friendly and really took great care of our guests. Matt definitely knows how to run a great party. Food, Service and all the extras... - I did not realize a DJ could make or break your evening. You were spot on about spending a little more money to have Josh do our wedding. He was awesome! - Sweet on cakes did a beautiful cake, and the flavor was so good (hence my guests ate the whole cake! Lol...) We received countless compliments on how well the whole weekend went for our guests and I directly attribute it to having hired you and the most competent people to put it all together. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the welcoming atmosphere. I'm not sure why: Maybe I expected something a little more pretentious, Brix being located at a gorgeous location in the heart of Napa Valley. But all the staff were great, from the greeters at the door to the waitstaff (Jair is The Man!). The food was also good. Not phenomenal, but interesting and tasty. I didn't expect a buffet style (maybe I just didn't do my homework) but was okay with it. The salads were creative, the entrees were very good, and there were even numerous vegetarian options. Desserts weren't special, but I try to avoid those anyway. Bottom line though: As a vegetarian, I try to avoid buffets cause I don't like sponsoring the carnivores' bad habits. But this one really came through. The numerous vegetarian options were more than I wanted to eat, and we left feeling very satisfied. read more

My husband and I were celebrating our 15 year anniversary. Hard to do much during COVID but Napa has been our go to these last few months for dining. We had another reservation at a different restaurant for last night, but left after our first drink. The vibe was just not right for our anniversary. That's where Brix came in. We quickly made a reservation on open table. When we arrived we were sat at a lovely table in the garden and an anniversary card was at our table. Schema nice touch for a last minute res. The food was amazing, wine was superb ( we indulged in their own estate varietals), the service was top notch. For COVID safety they had different people to clear dirty dishes , while servers Only handled clean untouched dishes. They saved our night! read more

Wow... so hard for me to start this review. I've always worked on the principle that you should be positive before negative... Hmmm. OK... Got it... The Gardens are wonderful. Simply stunning vista of the Sugar Loaf Ridge that splits Napa Valley and Sonoma's Valley of the moon. We arrived just before 3pm for a leisurely, late-lunch at this old friend of a restaurant, not visited for a few years. The re-designed interior is awesome and open, with a shaded terrace to the rear where we were seated at a 4 top. I guess I can shorten this review by simply saying, "If you don't have the ability to staff the period between 2pm and 5pm with capable staff, then don't open the restaurant." I really hope that this was why the service was not just horrible, but gut busting funny, as we spent the first 20 minutes negotiating for water and drinks, with a series of errors in what was delivered to the table. We ordered food, a Caprese, a Crab Fondue and a Croque Madame. A perfectly reasonable amount of time later, the food arrived. OK, here were the basic issues; 1. The Caprese plate had obviously had a rough journey to the table as the crescent shaped arrangement of tomatoes on the left of the plate was partnered with a dirty water like pool of juices on the right... ick. Then it was time to hunt for the cheese... ah... there they are... 4 thimble sized chunks soaked in tomato juice. Then the taste... WOW... SALT... lots of SALT!!! 2. The Crab Fondue was not a fondue. I realize it's open to interpretation, but a very small cup cake sized container of dip, toasted similarly to a Creme Brûlée is not a Fondue. OK, so they have re-imagined a fondue, but this dip had zero seasoning. None. $14 of tasteless porridge like dip. I guess all the salt got used up on the Caprese. 3. The Croque. Not good. Not bad. Difficult to eat, but it was fine. The accompanying french fries? The worst, unseasoned fries we've had for some time. Again... that Caprese salt hog must have been the culprit. I guess we could have given feedback on the spot, but the wait staff struggled to respond to anything we asked for, including the check. We paid the not huge $115 bill and continued on our way. We are lucky enough to be able to drive the 1 hour to Napa valley a few times a month and sample the wine and food from Napa City center to Calistoga. From the spectacular, to those that, sadly, won't survive. Food and service at the level Brix are delivering will not cut it, if our experience there is the norm. It's not even close to being competitive. Of course, the number of new visitors each day to the valley allow will allow them to trade on their past reputation for some time. It will be a shame to lose this old friend, should the markets take a slide and visitors become more rare. Should that happen, the locals won't put up with Brix's current product. read more

Great place to eat after a midday wine tasting tour of Napa. Food was great! We love the ambiance of this restaurant.

We went to Brix to celebrate collective 65th birthdays for college friends. The restaurant couldn't be more accommodating! We reserved a private room, pre ordered our wines, selected a few dinner choices and everything was wonderful. Tyler was our host and he took care of all that we needed. Food was wonderful, ambiance, including the gardens in the back, was delightful and the overall experience was well worth the money - bravo! read more

A little pricey for brunch. The views are amazing! I tried every single thing that they had to offer lol. French toast was hands down the best I've ever had. Mmmm!! If your local and never have tried bruch at Brixx on Sanday I'd recommend giving it a shot. read more

See all

Please be aware of dining with a SERVICE DOG! We made a reservation a week in advance and had let the restaurant know twice we were bringing a small service dog with us with no issue at all. When we showed up, we were told to walk around the outside of the restaurant, tie our SERVICE dog to a fence, and be seated at the dining area across the lawn. I had stated again our dog was a service dog and again told to tie her up. We quickly left and didn't want to dine at an establishment that couldn't accommodate a service dog. Do not dine here. read more

Brix is a landmark in the Napa Valley. Their weekend brunches are extraordinary. This is a place you can't go wrong bringing your family and friends for a fine experience. read more

Upon arriving we were told by another patron that their reservation had been cancelled, not believing this we continued on to the gate. After we arrived we learned That the Brix canceled our reservation without informing us at all... No email, no text, no call...We were told that they were only serving a corporate event the evening of our reservation however we had booked our reservation over a week in advanced and there was no mention or this "corporate event". We spent money on a ride out to the winery and their staff told us there was nothing they could do to sit us. After looking over the fence it appeared the "corporate event" consisted of multiple table spread out throughout the establishment. Not any type of corporate event I have ever been to or seen in the past has had the table spread out that far away from each other. I recommend going somewhere else if you want a reliable place to eat at for dinner. read more

I am so disappointed in this restaurant and to be fair I can't even leave a real food review. We went after eloping in Napa at a vineyard nearby. They were aware of that and greated us kindly and even gave us a card. Then our waitress brought us a complimentary glass of champagne - also very nice. Then we promptly ordered excited to eat and we hadn't eaten for a long time due to wedding things. However then it all stopped. We waited 30 min no food, 45 min no food server apologized for the amount of time it was taking. Then an hour no food and I had only been given one other drink. We saw food being delivered to all the tables around us. Our server even offered to bring us an app to hold us over and that never showed. After waiting an hour and 10 min for any food and seeing others receive we left. We were starving and exhausted and disappointed - we had been told great things about the restaurant and sadly we saw none of it. read more

Don't miss Brix on your next trip to Napa. We have enjoyed this Napa gem for many meals and it never disappoints . A leisurely stroll in the vineyard and garden is a perfect beginning or end to an incredible meal. If you get a chance to dine on the back patio you will find it hard to leave. The staff is top notch and can guide you through both the menu and the incredible wine list. While we almost always seem to visit when it is gorgeous and sit outside the inside room is cozy and perfect all year round. Highly recommend the brunch ! read more

Hello.. I was at your restaurant today on 5/31/21. I just want to point out that my party of three women were there to enjoy a lovely day and we were treated horribly by your staff. He claimed to not be a server so I assume he was a manager. What a disgrace.. he was so disrespectful!! Your staff as horrible!! The bartender was rude also!! Your manager that was on shift on Monday at 7:30pm! He was rude as disrespectful! Our party spent over $300 and we were treated super rude because of our ethnicity! To me this should be on the news. Three Latinas were treated super rude by this man for no reason!! It's a shame that good citizens are spent their money at your establishment and were treated like second class citizens. I would expect an apology from this man and it's a shame that we spent out money here in this establishment that's supports such behavior!! He was super condescending! I don't go out and spend my money to be treated this way!! I did not witness anyone else there the ing treated so disrespectfully!! It could be because we are Latinas and no one ese there was.. again I would like to print out that we consume and had a meal and spent over $300. This was horrible and I believe I need to contact John Quiñones to see what they think about three Latinas treated the way we were treated in Napa. Such a disgrace!! Shame!! read more

The food was very good here. The Avocado Toast and the Tempure Green Beans were fabulous. The sslmon was also very good

Went in for a late lunch, dine-in, yesterday and wow the whole experience was wonderful! Matt welcomed us so warmly and we felt as if we were greeting an old friend. We tried several things to share, but really enjoyed the tempura green beans, artichoke, and truffle risotto. And strolling through the beautiful grounds with a cool glass of rosé was really the icing on the cake. Even while practicing safe social distancing and wearing masks, it was a lovely, welcome escape from the pandemic tensions. I really needed that. Thanks so much, Brix and Matt. Can't wait to go back! read more

The burger needs to be on the show "the best thing I have EVER ate". Superlatives are overused nowadays but I assure you this burger is divine read more

Just had brunch at Brix, unfortunately our server was rude. Wasn't the experience I expected.

My first time at Brix tonight for dinner (finally). The restaurant is super nice, the garden is lovely and the food was great. Minus one star because I asked via a yelp question if dogs were allowed and the manager replied yes they can be there tethered in the "barking lot" which I misinterpreted to mean we sit with them but you don't - the outdoor tables aren't near the tethers so we decided to leave them in the car vs tying them up and walking away to sit and listening to them howl. Luckily it was a cool evening. I think Brix should be more clear on their pet policy when asked and should state that clearly on their website and Yelp. But we did see apparent service dogs sitting with their owners at the table - so there's a loophole. Minus one star for the apparent kitchen backup and not getting our dinner until 2 hours after we ordered. Our waiter was apologetic but it wasn't his fault. For my halibut dish, I asked if I was able to substitute a green veggie vs mushrooms and then waiter said yes but there was no green veggie when I finally saw my dish. The waiter apologized again and said the chef added 1 radish for me vs a green side. And finally minus one star for mentioning we were there to celebrate a birthday on the open table reservation and they did nothing. Not a mention. I might return again to enjoy the food and grounds but without dogs and not expecting effort for a mentioned special occasion. read more

We came here for lunch on a Sat., our 2nd time at Brix. Both times food from the limited menu was mediocre at best. Both times service was painfully slow, and our server never reappeared after 5 minutes. My recent Brix burger was overcooked and the Parm. fries were cold. My wife's risotto was ok. I chose not to send the food back to avoid waiting another unacceptably long time. Unfortunately, the prices are in line with Napa Valley tourist trap guidelines. Nice view and decor, but we won't be back. read more

I was in San Francisco on business and decided to go to Napa for the afternoon with two of my colleagues. We ordered 3 different glasses of wine, which were good. However, they all tasted the same, so we were never sure we got the same ones. We each ordered 2 appetizers-one for the official appetizer and one for dinner. All were good. We had the mussels, the corn soup with bacon and shrimp and a delicious fresh salad with avocado, green beans and a lovely dressing. The waitress did mess up the order but we were so busy eating the delicious herb biscuit that melted in our mouthes and the chewy sour dough bread, that we didn't care. And, we were quite surprised when the manager came over without being asked and apologized profusely for the mistake. We ordered the deconstructed chocolate brownie sundae and the couer de la creme. Both were quite good, especially when the manager didn't charge us for it! I'm not sure where these other folks went to dinner but we had an enjoyable and delicious experience from beginning to end. read more

I went to Brix for their Sunday brunch and had a wonderful time! The gardens are beautiful, the food was delicious, Jason C. was our server and he went above and beyond for us - and it was a buffet style brunch. I will be going back for sure. read more

Brix - Panoramic photo of Brix Gardens - New American Near Me - Napa, California

We went to Brix for lunch on a Friday, early in the day, to start off a Napa wine tasting day trip. The grounds are beautiful, and the view from the dining room is worth all the stars itself on a clear day. Luckily, the food is good too! Everything was very fresh and very tasty. I had a burger (no shame) and the meat was quality and the fries were crisp and I had no qualms about eating the whole thing. Another ordered the lunch special, which came with a good merlot and salad and salmon, which was all in all a good deal and a lot of food. The chef was even willing to add meat to one of their salads to create an entree out of it, which we greatly appreciated! The only reason I'm not going for five stars is that it did take a little longer than I would have liked for the meal to be served--we got there at 11:45, and left around 1:45, which was only concerning because we had plans for wine tasting. Otherwise, I have no issues enjoying a leisurely lunch, especially in a place as beautiful as Brix! We will definitely be back. read more

I read that a chef here was changed In 2013. So my writing here could be old news. Anyway, I had visited here twice. Once with my editor S originally from Tokyo and his family several years ago when he graduated from Stanford master course. Second time, with my hubby last year. I love their veggie dishes, especially tempura fried beans. They are so crisp and fresh. After over eating your lunch/branch/dinner, you can stroll around their beautiful wide open garden. read more

The Sea bass was out of this world!! Brix had a fabulous outdoor garden area. While we waited for our table to be ready, we all sat outside and relaxed by the beautiful gardens. The interior of the restaurant was beautifully decorated with wine glass chandeliers. I ordered the pan roasted sea bass, which was absolutely phenomenal. It was served with turmeric braised turnips, garden radish, wild fennel dressing and Mediterranean spice. It was scrumptious!! I savored every last bite and was sad when there was no more left on my plate. Our meal at Brix was a fabulous end to a marvelous day in Napa. read more

Made reservations a week in advance and it was well worth it. Received a grade A table with the view of the gardens. Service was impeccable. Our waiter asked me if I'd like a black napkin and I thought I was getting punked!! I had on a black dress and he was concerned the white napkin would put lint on my dress. I ordered the steak and asparagus and I'm still drooling over it. You won't be disappointed at The Brix! read more

Matt and the team at Brix truly went above and beyond to make our Rehearsal Dinner so special. We originally had our dinner booked at Cindy's Backstreet Kitchen, but found out less than a month and a half before our wedding that Cindy's was closing and we would have to move our Rehearsal Dinner. Brix was kind enough to hold a reservation for us there and we can't believe we didn't host it there from the beginning. The food and setting were incredible. Every request we had for Matt, they accommodated for us. From cocktail offerings, to wine requests, to what was printed on the menus, they did it all! Thank you thank you for kicking off our wedding weekend in such a special way. The Brix team is truly incredible! read more

Celebrated my Double Nickel birthday here yesterday with my son. The Porterhouse was awesome, my son loved the Shortribs and the Mac is crack. Make sure you try the Banana split. Loved their covid protocol. read more

Wow! My husband and I booked our reservation for our 20th anniversary dinner here over a month ago. Very easy to do online. Little did we know 8pm on a Tuesday in March, you don't need a reservation. So Maria Z was our server and the manager sat us. Both were super nice and wished us a happy anniversary several times each. We were treated to a complimentary glass of sparkling wine and a handwritten card wishing us a happy anniversary. My husband ordered the crab fondue. Both of the Cabernets by the glass were delicious. Everything was delicious. We skipped salads and ordered entrees right away- my husband the scallops, and I ordered the salmon. The scallops blew the salmon out of the water. Haha just noticed the pun. The salmon was very good, I think I may have enjoyed it more with a green veggie rather than white beans. We ordered a tawny port and the maple creme brûlée for dessert. Amazing finish to a delicious dinner. The only thing I feel that we missed out on is the gardens. Next time we are in the area, we will aim for earlier in the day so that we can explore out there. The pictures on the website are beautiful. Definitely ask for Maria Z! read more

Came here with a group of 4, server was slow, like 10 min to greet us after seated for early pm dinner, 10 min more drinks to arrive and then finally took order. With lacking service, food better impress. None in group was "wowed" by anything. Wifes fish dish was luke warm, but having to wait, she was hungry. Beef dish was fair, meat on tough side. Need better quality for $$$. Chef might need to keep better eye on product and his line cooks. Being in wine country tried recommended Kelleher wine,, was fair. One time here was enough. read more

Great food, wine and great views! It's worth stopping by and dinning in wine country!

Out of towners .... completely disappointed. Ravioli was frozen and was absolutely awful. Can't believe the quality of this place. Our travel agent recommended it because she said she Loved it years ago obviously the quality has decreased Significantly. Change your cooking staff read more

Awesome food. Beautiful presentation. Lovely surrounding. Excellent and prompt service

Horrible service. Waited an hour to eat dinner but no server even came by to serve us! Not even water! Did not even bother to check up on us to see how we were doing! I don't recommend this place to anyone! read more

The view is breath taking when you sit outside. The food is on point. The service is awesome. Make sure to call for reservations and request to sit outside. Food option is limited but that what makes it awesome! Everything on their menu is very good. It's a casual environment with a touch of elegance. Love this place. I would normally go here for brunch. read more

I`ve heard so much about this restaurant from other people that I expected more than what I experienced. My company and I had two glasses of white wine. Chenin and Sauvignon Blanc, and they were both delicious. The appetizer - Calamari was quite tasty but it could have been fried a little bit longer for me (it was pale). The main dishes - I order a sous vied fish, which did not have much flavor but was soft. The potatoes that came with that dish were utterly dry, the broccoli was ok. My husband ordered a pasta that was not bad but simply nothing extraordinary. The dessert, Pavlova, with fresh fruit and sorbet was good, just the meringue should have been softer (as it suppose to be crispy outside and soft inside) Our waiter was knowledgeable and made sure he didnt push us through the meal; however, I would suggest he may be more relaxed while dealing with guests. He behaved like he was afraid he would do something the management would not like.. Overall, a nice atmosphere, a knowledgeable but a bit stiff service, mediocre food. read more

Here is my problem with Brix. You can't count on them. They are inconsistent at best. Three chefs in a year should tell you something! How many next year? From salads to desserts & everything in between. I'm sorry too they used to have a talented young chef but alas he is no longer there. Now the word is they are going to "down scale" the quality even more & go after the touristsas. As a local I'm sad. Well at least there is a b-zillion other restaurants to try. So much foie-gras... So little time... read more

I do a simple rating scale for my food reviews (1 through 5, with 5 being extraordinary). Food: 4 Service: 3 Ambiance: 5 Wait Time: Arrived for later for Sunday brunch Price: 4 Overall: 4 Additional Comments: Beautiful restaurant setting and view into their gardens. Brunch buffet was definitely worth the price. Highlights from their fall brunch menu were the venison pate, miniature eggs Benedict and squash gratin. Like any holiday weekend, I know the Front of House was eager for the weekend to be over, already! read more

By far the BEST burger i have ever had! And I'm from Texas! The meat was so moist, the flavor was perfection. My mouth waters just thinking about it. My husband had a moscow mule, which i felt was too gingery/spicy but to be fair, it's the 1st moscow mule i have ever tried. My husband got the steak which he said was delicious. For desert i had thel almond-toffee sponge cake which was not too much like a sponge cake and more like an almond slice of heaven. :) the service was good. Everyone was friendly and the food came out in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend and would return on another trip to napa. read more

Went in on a Monday night with friends for dinner. The restaurant was pretty much empty at 6 pm, and never got any busier. Ordered the braised short ribs, which came out so salty that I could not eat it. (I am not hyper sensitive about salt at all.) They offered to replace it, but I would have had to wait, while everyone else was eating, so I declined. Profuse apologies by the Manager. The other thing that was disappointing is that they charged $7.00 a bottle for the sparking water that we ordered, as we like it along with wine with our meal. And they kept coming out with more bottles! This is water that costs $1.50 at the store. Cheesy way to run up the bill, IMO. read more
